	U.S. Has Plan For Military Conflict With Venezuela:
		There is not a doubt that military planners are doing what military planners do: looking at the world through the prism of potential threat, fitting countries to their models of action and reaction, toiling away they think in secret, considering the "what ifs." This is particularly the case after the failure of 9/11.

		Unfortunately, once again the vicious cycle of mutual distrust has set in, such that government suspicion that parts of Venezuelaâs opposition are involved in the plot have led to blanket denials and to suggestions that the paramilitary force was planted by the government in order to persecute the opposition.
		Venezuelaâs 1999 constitution requires such a new law and also specifies that the entire judicial system is subordinated, not just procedurally, but also administratively to the Supreme Court.
		So the question of whether Venezuela is a dictatorship or a democracy is actually a misleading question, one which merely feeds into the dichotomous vicious cycle of polarization and mutual distrust.
